Apple TV
Apple TV firmwares have two different version and build numbers, which can lead to confusion when referencing them. As such, the internal build number is the best way to refer to a specific firmware.
- The "Marketing"/"Displayed" columns are what is reported on the Apple TV's "About" screen
- The "Internal" column refers to the
ProductVersionandProductBuildVersionkeys in the IPSW'sBuildManifest.plist
